What is it like living in Pitsmoor?

I live a few minutes walk from there, if you're Asian you'll be fine.

I lived there for the first 40 years of my life -Burngreave/Ellesmere area- and never had a problem. People will say it's changed since say, the '90s but I talk to people who still live there (60 plus years) and they still like it.

humm thats always a worrying statement.

 

Along with the usual "full of really genuine people"

shame you have nothing to contribute to the thread

Would never consider the area myself.

I lived there for 12 years and like you still visit regularly to see friends who love loving there.

It's just fine. Mostly very quiet, considerate folk, great community events, good little shops, and plenty of green spaces, and frequent bus service. Come hang out and see for yourself.

Good for families?

It was great 40 years ago.

It wouldn't be my first choice now sadly.

There was another thread on the same topic quite recently, I suggest you search for it, it was all done to death on there. Potted summary: unpopular with racists.

Yes dan. I lived there, the Ellesmere end from 1947-1986. Well there isn't the steel works massive Drop Hammers to put up with at night, (Sadly).

Still get a drop hammer when the wind is in the right direction

Perhaps the noise is from Brightside or Attercliffe Bob ?
